Call for Research/Review Articles in Special Issue on “Microbiome Synergies for Plant Health Management and Climate-Resilient Agriculture”

Dear Sir/Madam,

Indian Phytopathology invites original research articles for a Special Issue on “Microbiome Synergies for Plant Health Management and Climate-Resilient Agriculture.” This issue is being published in collaboration with the Asian PGPR Society and will feature contributions from leading researchers worldwide.

The special issue highlights the role of plant-associated microbiomes and Plant Growth-Promoting Microbiomes (PGPM) in enhancing crop productivity, nutrient uptake, disease suppression, stress tolerance, and climate resilience. Advances in genomics, metagenomics, metabolomics, and systems biology have opened new opportunities for understanding and utilizing beneficial plant–microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture.

Themes Covered

•           Microbiome diversity and plant health

•           Biocontrol agents and disease suppression

•           Plant–microbe interactions and mechanisms of action

•           Microbiome-based disease management strategies

•           Omics technologies and bioinformatics applications

•           Field applications and case studies

•           Sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture

•           Review articles on emerging trends and innovations

Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the journal's author guidelines and will undergo the standard peer-review process (https://www2.cloud.editorialmanager.com/ippj/default2.aspx).

Important Dates
